It's always photographers that say this, but it's always photographers that have the really expensive gear that the rest of us can't afford Hmmmm

So if I gave you really expensive gear, it would make your photos better?

Not at all. You could give me a golden magic camera, my pics will still be crap But if you guys only need a cheap SLR, why the top of the line stuff?

I agree with you, but it's just odd that the guys saying you don't need expensive gear all have expensive gear.

Oh well I need it for the things that I shoot professionally. Clients demand the best quality.

But a person wouldn't need it for taking pictures of their fish to post online.

No don't "need it" but I wouldn't trade my 5D Mark II for a point and shoot!

I think the most important is using custom white balance and a Expodisk.

What settings did you use ? Apature shutter, speed, iso?

I disagree. When shooting raw it doesn't matter what the white balance is.

I have no idea what the settings were, but it would be different for every situation
